SparseMultiplyAdd(_:_:_:)

Performs the multiply operation y += Ax on a vector of double-precision, floating-point values.

Declaration

func SparseMultiplyAdd(_ A: SparseMatrix_Float, _ x: DenseVector_Float, _ y: DenseVector_Float)

Parameters

  • A:

    The sparse matrix A in y += Ax.

  • x:

    The dense vector x in y += Ax.

  • y:

    The dense vector y in y += Ax.

Discussion

Use this function to multiply a sparse matrix by a dense vector and accumulate the result. The following equation is an example of a matrix-vector multiplication where the matrix is sparse:

Call SparseMultiplyAdd(_:_:_:) to calculate the result.

let rowCount = Int32(4)
let columnCount = Int32(4)
let blockCount = 4
let blockSize = UInt8(1)
let rowIndices: [Int32] = [0, 3, 0, 3]
let columnIndices: [Int32] = [0, 0, 3, 3]
let data: [Float] = [1.0, 4.0, 13.0, 16.0]

/// The _A_ in _y+=Ax_.
let A = SparseConvertFromCoordinate(rowCount, columnCount,
                                    blockCount, blockSize,
                                    SparseAttributes_t(),
                                    rowIndices, columnIndices,
                                    data)
defer {
    SparseCleanup(A)
}

/// The values for _x_ in _y+=Ax_.
var xValues: [Float] = [10.0, -1.0, -1.0, 10.0]

var yValues: [Float] = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

/// The values for _y_ in _y+=Ax_.
yValues.withUnsafeMutableBufferPointer { yValuesPtr in
    
    xValues.withUnsafeMutableBufferPointer { xValuesPtr in
        /// The _x_ in _y+=Ax_.
        let x = DenseVector_Float(count: 4,
                                  data: xValuesPtr.baseAddress!)
        
        /// The _y_ in _y+=Ax_.
        let y = DenseVector_Float(count: 4,
                                  data: yValuesPtr.baseAddress!)
        
        SparseMultiplyAdd(A, x, y)
    }
}

/// On return, `yValues` contains:
///      `[ 141.0, 1.0, 1.0, 201.0 ]`
